Which vendor do you think offers the best packaging?

[player30]

Halo's packaging is great, from the bottles to the tins to the compact boxes to the insulation for the bottles to the marked glass dripper to the TASTE!!

Halo or Johnson Creek but their juices are so expensive. It could be because they come in those nice expensive bottles.

Ouch ! Glad someone started this thread ! This ol' Trucker don't need glass bottles, they would break. Maybe I should be careful who I'm ordering from ? Or maybe email the vendor first ? Just got my 1st Mrs T's order today, they use plain plastic bottles. But inside the box was popcorn ! Not that cheesey stuff the postal service calls popcorn, but real Jiffy-Pop type popcorn ! Of course, I figured it was stale after three days mailing time so I dumped the 'packaging' ! Just thought that was a neat touch.....

Or you could just transfer juice to preferred bottle type. But most people will just buy juice that comes in a personally acceptable format lol.

Totally Wicked has nice packaging but their bottle are made of glass with a cool little dropper!

AIV hands down.

A lot of vendors have pretty glass bottles.

AIV has a glass option too....but my plastic 18ml bottle came with a little panda charm on it, personalized note on Alice stationary, some little bookmark type thing, in a white rabbit stamped box with an alice sticker seal. Alice color reciept.Who can beat that?
(And the juice IS real good!)

I agree with you on the Alice in Vapeland packaging...so much care is put into how it is packaged!

That's just precious!

It amazes me that some vendors toss a few flimsy plastic bottles of juice in an oversized padded mailer with no protection whatsoever... I'd name a few... but too many do this... even some of my favorites do this.

As for "thoughtful" packaging... some of the better I have experienced include: Halo, HighBrow, vapesafe, bluemist, BWB,

I'd second those. I actually like the "flimsy" bottles though much more than the really stiff ones. They drip better. As I type this I realize that people are going to be giggling at the unintended imagery.

There's a pic of the charm on the bottle here

So far:

Mountain Oaks - not only glass bottles and droppers, but safety sealed shrink wrapped caps.
Virgin Vapor - labels need laminating though, they bleed and smear and after a few drips, become unreadable
The Vapor Room
Johnson Creek
Ahlusions



Keep in mind, I'm not impressed with "packaging" not related to the juice itself i.e. throw some confetti in the package isn't meaningful to me

I'm not vaping the packing I'm vaping the juice. I want THAT part of my order to be clean, flavorful, and well packaged so it doesn't leak or break, doesn't leach into the plastic, etc. and whatever else makes using the juice easy for me.

Well, if you've received a melt-down, then you will know what I'm talking about. how about spending 2 hours wiping down your mailbox, apologizing to your mail carrier, then bringing a dripping nasty package into your home, and having to go thru it to see what broke? And then washing EVERYTHING inside the same package that you ordered that is also sticky and wet.

THey don't pay me to do this. Next time, I"m just gonna toss it all in the garbage can. 2 hours of my time and labor (billable) is worth way more than the order usually costs.........

Then, of course, it's the "post office's" fault. This is why I defend the USPS often, because they are supposed to not break stuff even when it's not packaged correctly? they have been scapegoated enough.

I do love MOV's packaging. My only real complaint with the dropper tops tho, when I take it out and set it aside to stick a syringe in to get juice for my CE3s, there is some loss. It's only a drop or two here or there, but over time it can add up.

I wonder if MOV has just plain plastic caps? We might think of asking about those. I personally think all vendors should do it like Johnson's Creek does: plastic cap the juices. And then just add one or two glass droppers with the order. That works for me.

And, its probably cheaper in the long run for the vendor as well?
==================

I bought plastic caps for all my glass bottles. I have to remember where, but I think I got mine in my local health food store where people mix essential oils .

The other thing you can do is press the rubber stopper down, thru the cap, and then removed the glass tube from the stopper. This releases the "vacuum" and the juice falls out. I have to do this when I wash stoppers and bottles anyway.
You can also cut a round piece of alum. foil or wax paper and slot it into the bottle cap to cover the hole the dropper made.

Since you truck, please throw in the woods. The wildlife loves it. Deer , etc. love corn based stuff. But raccoons n' stuff too. May be welcome treat in winter when food is hard to find. birds like it, too!

My concern isn't juice in the dropper itself, but a lot likes to cling to the bottle. Never thought about asking about regular caps. I'll bring that up next time I am in their thread on here.
